we always had chickens growing up, we live in the Kansas City area, and we always just use straw. You would be able to easily clean it out and then you could actually use as mulch later on.
During the day try raise/hold the curtains up using clip or pin them to their boxes roof, and bring them down at night to avoid any one sleeping in the boxes and pooping all night long. That's how we do it, and it works. What kind of breeds do you have. Our silkie needs a stool to get to the nesting box.
